I don't agree, Europe and North America are both bigger than Japan. Japan is however again over-represented this generation, Nintendo games including the most popular franchise in history Mario. The top 10 of worldwide sales this gen is dominated by Nintendo!
Add to that game series like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo and Japan representation this gen is over the top.
Although I agree the technically most impressive games so far this gen have come from western teams, with games like Killzone, Uncharted and God of War. Also for distinguishing efforts with games like Heavy Rain, LittleBigPlanet and Warhawk western developers are performing well. |
So Gran Turismo, MGS, Final Fantasy and Mario are new IPs? Read the OP before you answer.
Thank you

So you're just comparing new IP's from Japan to the new IP's from the west?
How was this any different last gen? Are you only speaking for consoles? Because if not, I think the west dominated in terms of new IP's even more last gen.
If we're talking exclusively consoles, it's only reflecting how the PC developers have jumped onto consoles. I don't see why that would be anything to brag about. (Oh, as well as Japan jumping onto handhelds)
